So I'm late to the game, but obsessed with these pieces nonetheless! A few weeks ago, H&M launched their brand new beauty range and every beauty blogger worth their salt has mentioned them. So of course, I got massive FOMO and had to go out and see what all the fuss was about.

The store I ended up visiting, seemed pretty rinsed of most things already, so I only picked up four bits. But I'm really happy with them.

Let's start with the packaging - which I love! It looks more like high-end high-street than from a (predominantly) clothes store. I remember the old days, when you could only get 'beauty' products in Scandinavian countries - and there was a big Snoopy theme :) (who else remembers this?).

I got this gorgeous grey nail polish in Cloudburst, along with a cream blush - which is in my favourite packaging design - in Cameo Brown. I also got my first eye shadow pencil in a beautiful greeny gold called Treasure Hunt. Lastly, I really needed some new eyelash curlers and these pretty gold ones fit the bill.

I've only been using these for about a week now, and lets just say I'm glad I picked them up! The quality is brilliant, my favourites are the nail polish and the blush.

Have you seen the H&M beauty range? Did you pick up any pieces, what did you think?

I'm in the same opinion as Cate. I do find scent very evocative when it comes to bringing a memory. These scents have notes from Cassis Nectar, dark fruit and Vanilla, with fresh-cut freesia and rich rose de mai. It is completed by an addictive, melting base of patchouli, creamy amber wood and luminous orcanox. While the Intense Parfum is more sweet, it develops into a deep, heady smell.

Which I definitely agree with! At first smell (of the Intense Parfum), I can't say I was the biggest fan of the scent - it was very sickly sweet. But after an hour of it sitting on my skin, it settled into a subtle, sweet musky smell. I loved it!

Have you tried this scent, or another from Giorgio Armani? Before this, I'd tried Armani Code.
